<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This simple guide to calligraphy teaches just the basics, allowing novices to jump right in and make their own wedding invitations, hand-label envelopes, write their own placecards, and explore their creative side. With the rise of do-it-yourselfers, there is growing demand for a calligraphy guide that is much simpler than what's currently on the market. This book answers that call, with a focus on only the popular Italic alphabet rather than the scads normally covered by other books (Gothic, Uncials, Half-uncials, and so on). After learning the basic letters, this book presents an open invitation--and a bit of inspiration--to make calligraphy one's own with creative flourishes for every project and occasion. With a modern two-color design and simple explanatory text, Simply Calligraphy's unintimidating approach proves that calligraphy is as easy as picking up pen and paper"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Learning the simple and beautiful art of hand-lettered calligraphy is as easy as picking up pen and paper!</b> <p/>Italic is the calligraphy's most popular alphabet, and this delightful manual introduces basic capital and small letters and numbers, plus all the creative flourishes you need to customize your unique script for every project and occasion. <p/>With quick and easy instruction from calligraphy teacher and designer Judy Detrick, <i>Simply Calligraphy</i> will have you whipping up elegant invitations, pleasing place cards, and personalized thank-you notes in no time. <p/>Includes practice exercises, advice on tools and materials, and project ideas for place cards, invitations, and more!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Long an admirer of her beautiful work, I'm delighted to see Judy Detrick draw upon her knowledge and masteryof calligraphy, as well as her extensive teaching experience, to write a book for beginners.
